The leaflet says:

Adults
  • initial dose: 3mg to 15mg daily split into two or three doses
  • maintenance dose: the dose will be gradually reduced to 5mg to 10mg daily.
  • The maximum dose for all treatments is 30mg a day.
3 mg is 6 drops 15 mg is 30 drops.....so between 3 to 15 drops 2x per day or 2 to 10 drops 3 times per day.

If you physically can't count the drops as they drop then there are pill forms as well as monthly injections available....
